THE BUILDING
Former Tea Warehouse, Reimagined
You can't buy history like this
Dating back to the mid-1800s, The SO began life as a tea warehouse and still carries the character of its industrial past. Three original warehouse buildings have been carefully restored and brought together as one address, retaining their original brickwork, tiles, columns and architectural details.
The result is a workspace with a sense of history you simply cannot recreate. Original features sit alongside contemporary interiors, creating offices and shared spaces that feel distinctive, considered and completely of their place.
Hospitality in every detail
SO much more than a workspace
The SO is designed as a complete experience, combining beautifully designed workspace with the service, hospitality and amenities that help businesses and their people thrive. From the moment you arrive, hospitality is built into the building, with a barista café, members’ lounge, gym, dedicated event space and generous shared areas designed for working, meeting, connecting and spending time together.
Private offices give teams their own space, while the wider building offers everything around it. It’s a workplace designed to feel considered, welcoming and genuinely enjoyable to spend time in.
The Future of Work
A workplace that evolves with you
As AI and new technologies continue to change how people work, the role of the workplace is evolving too. The SO has been designed to support the growing value of collaboration, connection and time spent together, with additional collaboration spaces and flexible areas built into the scheme.
The result is a workplace that can adapt as businesses, teams and ways of working change, giving people the flexibility to work independently, collaborate and come together in the way that works best for them.
What's Available
Space ready for teams to grow
The SO offers fully fitted, customisable private offices for teams of 10 to 100 people, across five upper floors of the building.
With floorplates ranging from 4,246 to 6,142 sq ft, offices can be tailored around your team, with meeting rooms, phone booths and kitchens available within office spaces. Members also have access to The SO’s extensive shared amenities
